My guess is they expand the practice squad rules even more, maybe increases their size. I could see the IR rules being lessoned as well. But roster spots, I agree I doubt the make much movement there. They will say something about wanting to keep roster management a part of the game for competition reasons.Originally posted by chemiclord View PostComment

They're going to have to give the NFLPA something to get that 18th game, and think that something would have something to do with roster sizes, even if it is just expanding the practice squad or additional active-inactives like the 3rd QB this year.Originally posted by Topweasel View PostComment

They can increase the roster size to 100 and increase the practice squad to 200 - at the end of the day if you want to compete for a SB you need your starters playing as much as possible.Originally posted by Topweasel View Post
Most games in this league even with the opened up offense rules are still 1 score games.

The Lions were heavily using the practice squad elevations especially at the end. You add another game and every team will need to use it more. The owners are incredibly cheap, it's why they invented this systemOriginally posted by Fraquar View PostComment

Real talk ... the NFL should just warn them but still make it a big deal to discourage others from doing it. This isn't suspension worthyWHO CARES why it says paper jam when there is no paper jam?Comment

This article highlights the NFL schedule by Rest difference.

For example, if team A plays team B and team A just got off a bye and team B did not, then team A would get a +7 (green) and team B would get a -7 (red).
Lions are fine in that their schedule is overall balanced. 49ers are screwed for the second year in a row. Ravens were given a gift of a schedule.
Last year, the Chiefs played 5 games with 2 or more days less rest than opponents. They went 2-3 in those games and 0-5 vs spread. They were 13-2 in their remaining games and 12-3 vs spread.

Somehow, the 49ers getting "screwed" last year led to... the #1 seed and a Super Bowl appearance that went to overtime.
What a horrible fate the scheduling gods befouled them with.Comment

Didn't we find last year that there wasn't really any disadvantage to playing short weeks or advantage to having longer breaks between games?
I remember being surprised when someone posted the stats (I think)I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it onComment

At the end of the day, talent and depth of talent trump any amount of rest.
Shocking revelation, I'm sure.Comment

Last year the Lions had either the best or 4th best advantage with rest versus their opponents. I'm sure it helped them. But remember that is a tool used by Warren Sharp and the stat is more useful for betting purposes on season totals or single games ats. It certainly shouldn't be used to determine who's going to go far in the playoffs. The Sharps of the world are looking for any advantage to try and gain a percentage point or two in the aggregate on the season.
The advantage is more likely to show up in the point differential of a game rather than determining the outcome of a gameComment
